Description
Perhaps no other person is more associated with the revival of the 20th century in the Art Deco style than the Russian-born French artist and designer Erté. Although his talent spanned many creative fields, Erté is probably best known for his theatrical and fashion designs, which were later often reproduced as beautiful silkscreens. Few can resist being captivated by Symphony in Black, one of his most famous works, depicting a slender figure walking a dog. Throughout his life, Erté designed over 200 covers for Harper's Bazaar, and since then, his works have been reproduced and copied countless times, radiating a timeless atmosphere of elegance and sophistication. Combining fresh and thoughtful text with beautiful illustrations, including jewelry and sculptures inspired by his two-dimensional designs, this coffee table book is the definitive companion to Erté.
Original titles and a very wide range of authors are the hallmark of Flame Tree Publishing.
